The truth of the Gospel is that the law never did, never will and never can bring reconciliation. From the beginning of scripture to the end the teaching is that salvation rests in one thing alone. Faith in the promise of God that He would do through Christ for mankind what mankind was incapable of accomplishing.
Yep. I agree. Wholeheartedly.

I think that all of us are active sinners. We can try not to be, but we still are. If we say we’re not, then we’re liars, which is another “abomination”. Modern-day Pharisaical hypocrisy clearly still exists though among many self-professed Christians. That is the distinction that I am making.
